About Elizabeth

I am an experienced high school English teacher and administrator (22 years of teaching). I have also taught history and Latin, from grades 7-12. I spent 5 years working as a learning specialist and organizational/academic coach at Harvard University. I have taught ESL at a strong independent school, as well as creative writing in high schools and at Smith College. I'm Harvard-educated (undergraduate and graduate).

My tutoring style is informal and connective, supportive and rigorous at once. I love to work with students on their writing -- be it creative, college application essays, or analytical essay writing. I have worked with people from age 10 to age 40, and enjoy all ages.I am an experienced high school English teacher and administrator (22 years of teaching).

Approved subjects

In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.

ADD/ADHD

I worked as a learning specialist at Harvard university, working primarily with graduate students after they received neuropsych testing, introducing them to study, organizational and other learning strategies. I then co-founded an Academic Support Center to do similar work at the high school level. I worked with many high school students with ADD and ADHD, teaching them ways to remain focused and resist distraction, as well as organizational strategies that ranged from using planners/calendars effectively to differing ways to map/chart an argument if a traditional outline format didn't work. Often, doodling can be harnessed in outline form, I discovered.

Dyslexia

I worked as a learning specialist at Harvard university, working primarily with graduate students after they received neuropsych testing, introducing them to study, organizational and other learning strategies. I then co-founded an Academic Support Center to do similar work at the high school level. I work with students with ADD, executive processing disorder, dyslexia, the whole array.

ISEE

I have worked with several students preparing for both the ISEE and SSAT, primarily on the verbal side though I've also helped younger students with the math. A good part of what I can offer has to do with organizational and test-taking strategies. A longtime independent school teacher, I am quite familiar with these tests.
